Ayr Race 5 - San Miguel Hcp

Course specialist EMPIRESTATEOFMIND (5) made it three in four at the track when justifying favouritism nine-days-ago securing a 0.75L victory. Jason Hart has five wins on board the John and Sean Quinn-trained gelding. Well-in on figures and looks the one to beat dropping in trip. ONE NIGHT THUNDER (1) gained a third turf success when a comfortable 1.75L course and distance winner. Remains nicely treated at the weights and is dangerous to dismiss. CISCO DISCO (3) enjoys the venue and added a fifth course triumph by 2.25L here last month. Feared. ASHEN (7) warrants thought as can run into the placings.

Recent form sound. Most recently won by 1.75 len at this track on September 29 over 1400m in the wet defeating Quest For Fun with 59kg at $6.50. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Carlisle on September 9 over 1400m, 2 len behind Von Trotter with 61.5kg at $4.50. Back in form and another bold showing is expected.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run eased back early on 6th of 10 at Carlisle on September 9 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Von Trotter with 61kg at $12. The race before that 4th of 12 at Southwell All Weather on July 27 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Modern Times with 61kg at $17. Not a good sign last start so looking elsewhere.

Racing well recently. Most recently favourite; won by 0.8 len at this track on September 29 over 1600m in the wet defeating Motawaared carrying 62.5kg at $2.20. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Hamilton Park on September 20 over 1840m, on rain affected going; long-neck behind Bradbury with 61kg at $3.10. He has an excellent record at this venue and is worth following up.

Second-up. First-up after three months ran last of 14 at Great Yarmouth on September 17 over 1600m, 27 len behind Guest House carrying 61.5kg at $19. Previously second-up 4th of 7 at Leicester on April 13 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind This Farh with 60.5kg at $8.50. Fitter for that run and worth another chance.
